What to Know About Ledger?

A ledger is a horizontal metal tube that runs parallel to a building. It is attached to the upright standards of the scaffold. It also supports transoms (horizontal cross members). 

What are the uses of Ledger?

A ledger provides horizontal support to scaffold structure and connects vertical standards. It supports planks or platforms to form the framework of the scaffolding structure. It is used to create stable working platforms and distribute loads.

What are the Benefits of Ledger?

Ledgers distribute the weight of the decking and its loads across the scaffold frame. They contribute to the overall strength and stability of the scaffold structure.

What scaffolding system does the Ledger belong to?

Ledgers are key components in most scaffolding systems. For example, ringlock, cuplock, system, kwikstage, event, and genlock scaffolding.

What Materials are Used to Create Ledger?

Ledgers are made of either steel or aluminium, depending on the strength, weight, and durability requirements. They are treated to resist corrosion.
